Some fundamental issues in land and land-use planning in Nigeria
In a country where the socio-economic system is rapidly being transformed and the development is fast, it is urgently necessary to study the present land resources, and land tenure system and to collect data on the quality of the land in different

Land reform remains high on South Africa’s list of national priorities, but the results since 1994 have been meagre. One key issue that often stymies well-meaning reform minded institutions, bureaucrats, activists and land owners is a lack
of information on the land itself. A set of geo-spatial technologies are recommended to overcome this problem. - (AJC)
The differential incidence of an urban land tax depends on the travel intensities of substitutes for lands

This note shows that, in order to impose any burden on consumers, the urban land tax needs to be supplemented by planning controls to prevent consumers on the urban margin shifting to the rural area in order to escape the tax.

Agro-silvo-pastoral systems were studied in central-eastern Sardinia (Italy) to assess their environmental impact in marginal Mediterranean areas. Land cover changes between 1955 and 1996 were assessed by using multitemporal aerial coverages
. Starting from a past land suitability classification developed at farm level, a scheme for the evaluation of the land suitability to the creation of new pastures at regional scale was developed by using GIS methodologies. The scheme classifies the land
into 5 land suitability classes as defined in the FAO Framework for Land Evaluation.

Cultivated land is mainly used for growing staple foods. Factors exerting influence on land use are : the traditional Chinese way of intensive land use, population pressure as well as economic situation. The structure of recent developments of land
use exhibits altitudinal agricultural land use, intercropping of crops and trees, two-tier and multi-tier land use.

The present thesis thrusts the case study of the Zamfara and Runka grazing reserves in northwestern Nigeria into the debate on cropland expansion and land cover change in semi-arid West Africa. It demonstrates the efficient use of geographic
information, GIS, and remote sensing in a context of poor geo-information and presents a timely analysis of land use and land cover change in this key resource area. - (IfL)

Common land is land with an ancient form of ownership. At one time it was economically important, but now its importance lies in the preservation of cultural landscapes and ecological balance. This article uses the geographic information system
to analyze selected landscape indicators with respect to various types of agricultural land and determine whether and to what extent the assertion holds true that in Slovenia common agricultural land is preserved primarily in areas with poorer natural

The aim of this paper is to analyze land use change pattern using a geographical information system (GIS) and patch analysis methods and to discuss its driving forces based on the climatic changes and socioeconomic development, which will benefit
the process study of land use change and land-use planning on the Tibetan Plateau.

The relationship between demographic change, land use and land availability has been a major focus of studies of African agricultural systems. This investigation in the Mandara Mountains of Northern Cameroon examines responses to population growth
in terms of changes in land use or land tenure systems, and it examines migration within a context of changing environmental conditions.

Given the importance of land cover to the field of remote sensing and, in particular, the many physical geographical applications of remote sensing, this progress report will focus on recent developments in land cover research. Initially, reviews
of recent developments in land cover classification and land cover change lead into discussions on environmental management and environmental understanding. Finally, a brief summary of general developments in the field of remote sensing is provided.

resource database, a classification of the land use changes in the period 1979-1989 and 1994 was conducted using air photos and satellite images. Finally the land use change was analysed using a geographical information system. The produced maps create
a basis for the development of a land use planning system.
The Province of Dak Lak in Vietnam has experienced a massive coffee plantation during the last ten years, but severe deforestation, accelerated soil erosion and reduction in soil fertility are widespread. In order to create a map basis for a land
